Ken,
No, the tube is connected to the anti run-on solenoid valve and then through
the carbon canister which is connected to the manifold.
When you switch off the ignition, the solenoid valve closes and connects the
vacuum in the canister to the tubes going to the carby float bowls. You then
have equal vacuum at the caby jets and the float bowls thus stopping any
more fuel from being sucked into the engine. Result is the engine stops
immediately, no run-on.
regards,
Bob Hutton

You mean the tube is connected directly to the intake manifold? Interesting.
